~When Moma was here she took this new one of us dressed in aquas and browns to match our bedroom colors.I'm happy every time I look above our bed and see my ENCOURAGING wall sticker from Laura which says:
“With God all things are Possible”
and our new family picture!~
Our BHG magazines get looked at L.O.T.S. until they are dog-eared. =) For it's something from back home, it's in English, and it's fun to see what ideas one can use out of that magazine with what you already have in your home. =) So saying, I told my family that I wished my bookshelves in our master bedroom could look like some in BHG...but they commented, "Yea, but those only have 2 books and 3 vases on them!" =)
You have to understand that our "Master Bedroom" also serves as: Mary's nursery, family room, the main bookshelves in our home holding the kid's keepsake books, Phillip's office (although most of his books are still packed in boxes from the moldy apt.), my scrapbooking/sewing area/craft, Noah's school room, our computer room, etc.
So, I decided that though I don't have only "2 books and 3 vases" I could arrange our shelves to be more pleasing to my eye. =)
~So saying...Here's a picture of my scrapbook shelf. On the right I used 2 pieces of heavy cardboard and some scrapbook paper to make some "books" in which to hide one of my many stacks of scrapbooking paper, and my extra Creative Memory S.Book pages. =) ~
~I really like Phillip's Argentina MATE cup and straw beside his 2 antique "John Wesley's sermons" books (in Spanish) on this bookshelf. =) ~

Lookin' good!
I enjoy visiting your blog. Your ideas for decorating and cooking are always extremely neat. Your encouraging attitude is a blessing.
May God continue to bless you in your work and touch your family with His healing.
If I did not know better I would have thought that I was seeing a picture out of Better Homes and Gardens!!! So glad that your magazines are coming through. I phoned the BH&G office and thanked them for their efforts. When I told them of your blog post picturing their magazine announcing its arrival, they said "oh, she is advertising for us." Your shelves look lovely, I have plans to do the same in my sewing room . . . if I can ever stay home. ;-) Love, Moma
I love your creativity and resourcefulness! Blessings!
Oh you are so amazing! I love the family pic and your bookshelves! How creative! Thanks for always sharing your neat ideas! Praying you all are feeling better! Hugs, Carla
Looks so Pretty and homey! Love the idea of cardboard "books" to hide things. I have the same problem. I can't "waste" space by having a "magazine" perfect bookshelf with 2-3 items on a 2-3 foot space!!! ;-)
Can't take TWO minutes to type a comment. As I was finishing my sentence above, I hear "Glub-glub" sound of water tha I was pretty sure was some twin playing in the toilet. Sure enough, I found Ruarc walking out with a toy barrel that he had filled with water from the toilet. Probably getting ready to DRINk it. Unfortunately the last kid did not flush his #1 deposit!! YUCK
I love seeing your two sweet boys under the umbrella at the top of your blog.
Heather, your mom makes me laugh so often...her comment, "if I can ever stay home", about made me drop to the floor with laughter. Poor lady!
I love what you did for your shelves. I think my shelves could almost look like yours IF I could get them cleaned off and dusted! IF being the key word here!
Love, Mom D
Ohhhh Deanna . . . and to think I wanted twins with every baby! What is it about twins that love the toilet? Our twin Grandsons in Alaska kept their Daddy at whits- end paying plumbing bills because their favorite thing was to climb in and then get out and flush their match box cars, Vonnie could never seem to catch them in time. Oh well, they sure are cute and lots of fun I am sure. Thanks for warning Heather - for I've a feeling that her "next" two are going to be twins! I also have a feeling that you will never see this comment for she will delete it as soon as she does. ;-0 I dooooo love my little girl, and it could't happen to a better person! Heather's Moma
:-) @Mama Bryan I am sure Heather is thrilled with your "desires" for her to have more children and have them come 2-by-2!!! ;-) Twins are Darling and SO MUCH FUn, but sure do keep this Family HOPPIN' keeping up with them. We CAN'T forget to shut a door or we will have a MESS!
way to go... you make me proud to be your sister! love you... Laura
P.S. Maybe if Moma's "multiple" wish comes true I'll get to see you sooner than later!=) Hee! But I'm NOT going to take the blame for prayin that way! (well, maybe not!=)
Oh, I think I agree with Laura if you have twins we would get to see you sooner:-)
And Deanna that is too funny about the twins!
Dearest Heather,
I love your shelves & I agree it IS LOTS of FUN to organize stuff! I recently went though my seeing metirial and got it out of boxes & on shelves in my attic. It's much nicer to see everything out where I can SEE what I have! Well, I got to go to sleep! Love, Hannah Klunder
Very nice job Heather!! It's amazing how nice things look when they are organized. I was able to organize a cabinet Sat. after Jim put a shelf in it for me. I love opening the door now. Nice post!!
